Words we used to use.....
Have we ever done this here on AFF? I can't remember for sure.......
Anyhow, a friend and I were talking one day about words that were used all the time when we were kids, but our kids today wouldn't have any idea what in the world they mean today. They've gone "out of style". I asked people to name some of those words on Facebook and that thread went on and on and on...............
So let me give you some examples -
How about davenport? Does anyone say that anymore?
or Pocketbook?
Can you think of some of others?
